Grand Trial

Clarice Kruger

The girl jumped back and threw forth a Black crystal in an attempt to escape, Anthony predicted this and restricted her movement Intime walking up to the Now created black rift. "So my guess was right Big sis," Anthony said In a relieved tone. The girl's body locked up for a second before stuttering, "H-H-How did you--" She trailed off.

"You especially should know I have a good eye, With a bit of digging up, I knew that I had an elder sister and a blood twin brother that disappeared and is assumed dead. I also know that our clan was caught In a racial war and was forced to send the youth away to develop out of the crossfire but In the end was eradicated, I also know that you Big sis is the rightful heir to our Clan's position of Clan chief" Anthony said releasing her bind with an expression of a child that had done wrong.

The Girl removed her mask to reveal a beautiful face, her appearance was still innocent and youthful, she had a pair of green eyes and had a thin layer of shadow beneath her eyes, she was currently smiling with a tear streaming down her cheek as she knelt before Anthony, " I am Clarice Kruger, I am currently 19 years of age and your older sister from the same parents, Also I know where your twin is" Clarice said covering her tear-filled face.

It took a while for Clarice to regain her composure and started, "Well you brat, I'm sure you have quite a few questions you would like to ask" Clarice said stretching out and cracking her stiff joints, "More than a few actually" Anthony responded eagerly.

"Then get stronger, the current version of yourself is much too weak to know of these things. I'll tell you when your strength surpasses mine by at least 5 Ranks" Clarice said much to Anthony's disappointment, "What I can do however is give you knowledge that will help you in your endeavors" as she said this She walked over touched Anthony's forehead with a faint light.

Anthony felt a plethora of knowledge flow into his memory; for starters, he now knew he came from a race of Beings called Astreals, and the cultivation arts he learned as well as the one he would use for his cultivation journey fell under a group called Astral arts. they consisted of the Immortal foundation art, Frost Breath Immortal art, The Zwitte flare Immortal art, The Irokman defense forms, The Esper Cauldron, The phantom god's steps, the Thunder point Crusader art, the Illusion forms of the ancient one, and The Esper bomb cultivation art. The knowledge of these came with full mastery of the second stages to all of them and he got a total of 40 Floral martial skills, 15 spirit martial skills, 10 floral movement skills, 5 spirit movement skills, and 1 singular soul movement skill. To add to this with the refinement his real body received other than his higher than usual understanding of the various arts he could match those that are 1 realm above him in speed and those half a realm above him in power (constitutes strength and endurance).

Other than his arts though he learned of a special technique passed down his family that was awakened once the knowledge got to him, It seemed clear his sister wanted him to go places fast, His family clan's 'All-seeing eyes', It is a Magus Technique that reinstated one's power as a Magus and allowed them to see through one's nature and control their various techniques without as much as lifting a finger. He has only gained 20% from the awakening but he knew how to cultivate it so he figured it would come to him in due time.

"I have awakened your sleeping potential so you don't have to almost kill yourself aimlessly," Clarice said, "While you are much too weak to know of our family's deeper secrets I can tell you some things. For Instance, this planet is part of a group of 100 other planets known as the 17th Lower mortal system, and this Planet Is known as the 32nd Lower Mortal Planet."

"Why the 17th Claire??" Anthony asked in genuine curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. "That Little brother is because the System surrounds a single planet 10 times the size of all the planets combined Known as an Upper mortal Planet, ours Is the 17th Upper mortal planet in the 50th Upper mortal System, do you catch my drift??" She explained almost feeling humored by Anthony's eagerness to learn about things way above the current him's ability to control.

"So In essence, A Lower Mortal system Is a group of Lower mortal planets That orbit an Upper mortal planet, and there are others??" Anthony asked in slight awe.

"Yes actually, it works that way all the way up, The various levels are basically; The lower mortal system to the Upper mortal Planet, The upper mortal system to the Ordinary martial planet, the ordinary martial system to the upper martial planet, the upper martial system to the pinnacle martial planet, and last the gathering of 1000 Pinnacle Martial Planets form something known as a Glaxium" Clarice explained internally pondering whether or not she liked her shortened name.

"Isn't that what the demarcated regions of a Galaxy are called??" Anthony blurted, "Yes actually, A galaxy is the given name to the 9 regions of a Galaxy, We are currently In the Pure southern Galaxium of the 5th galaxy. Among Galaxies, however, there are roughly 200,000 of the Universe, and among that 200,000 the power that rules ours is ranked third, a Power called the Tachibana Dynasty, The only sect that is seen to have the potential to control of the universe" Clarice explained I a slightly awkward manner, Anthony noticed this and deduced that This dynasty had something to do with their Family but sad nothing and wrote it off as a mild theory.

"Are there Places outside the Universe??" Anthony continued to ask as he was genuinely interested. "Yes, but that is for another day, Miss Clarice has to get going" Ried blurted as he made his way over glaring at Clarice.

"I don't think that is an appropriate tone to speak to your master's sibling in" Anthony responded with a smile, One that stopped tried dead in his tracks, "That being said though, I feel you will receive some backlash if you stay for too long so I will talk with you later sis," Anthony said to Clarice before she muttered something under her breath, smiled and left the Spirit space.

After she left Anthony turned to Ried," I don't care what restrictions you have towards her, if you ever cause my sister the slightest bit of discomfort, You will pay dearly" After a brief pause he looked at the others and said, "That goes for all of you" before returning to his body.
